My little miracle

Thursday, October 4, 2007

I got to feed Ian! Did you guys see? I was so scared at first. He's still such a little guy... but Josh had faith I'd be okay. I was just... I know I haven't been the world's best mom lately. That's not a secret. And we all know I've made so many mistakes in the past few months... I just didn't want to make another one today. But feeding my son... it was one of the most amazing... I can't get over it. We had some mommy, me and the bottle makes three time, and it meant everything. When I think of how tiny and fragile he was... Ian's come such a long way... but there were so many times - his birth, his surgeries... and now he's getting bigger and stronger every day. Ian just makes the world seem right-side up when I look at him. Does that make sense? Or am I just a proud mom?

It makes perfect sense to me, Kendall, and I'm very happy for you, considering all you've been through. I'm thrilled Ian is doing so well. But I have to say, I would have preferred to see you with Ian while Zach was with you both. It's nice that you shared the moment with Josh, but Zach should have been there. I'm still waiting for some beautiful Zach, Kendall and Ian moments, and unfortunately, other than the few seconds you three spent together when you "kangarooed" with Ian, and of course, his birth, you three don't have any alone time. I hope that changes soon. And of course, Spike can be there, too, watching after his little brother.

Kendall..It was wonderful to see you feeding Ian today. He's a real cutie and really took to that bottle. I'm glad that you had that precious time together with him. Everything will get better now that Ian is doing so well. Before you know it Ian will be going home with you and Zach and Spike and your real family time will begin. It's about time that the Slater family has some happy times.

I am so happy for you. Ian is a real cutie - just like his daddy. You deserve this bit of happiness. I am sorry that Zach was not there with you, but you and Ian were adorable. I can't wait for you and Zach to take baby Ian home. I can't wait to see some of those 3 am feedings!

Kendall, It was amazing. I was so happy for you. I wish it had been you and Zach, that was a moment that you both should have had together. I am sure you will get those moments. Enjoy the moment, I know I did. By the way, Ian looks adorable! I hope he has that little Slater dimple in his chin, I saw the dark hair. Take care!

Babies have a way of making everything seem right with the world. They put things in perspective.
Remember that the most important thing in your life is family.Concentrate on love them.

Little Ian is the shining star of Pine Valley. Lots of hopes and dreams are pinned on the beautiful baby boy. Hope to see lots more of Ian now! Can't wait until he comes home with his mommy and daddy to Casa Slater!

Kendall, You are a wonderful mom, never forget that.

[Tigereye]

Both Kendall. You make perfect sense and you are a proud mom. You have a lot to be proud of. Ian is a beautiful boy with a wonderful spirit. He gets all that from his parents. I can't tell you how beautiful it was to see you hold your boy and feed him. It was truly one of the most magical moments in a very, very, very long time.

Kendall,

Seeing you feed Ian was such a beautiful and touching moment. Call me selfish...but it would of been so much better if Zach had been there as well.

What's up with Hannah? She is either playing on Zach's sympathies or still needs further psychological help. We all know Zach would never, and didn't cheat...yet in her mind they made love?

Dear Kendall: I think you are a wonderful and loving Mom. Sure, you had your moments after Ian was born as you struggled with the shock and horror of what happened and had to deal with so many emotions -- but I always knew how much you loved your Ian. It was a beautiful moment to watch you and Ian today -- I'm sorry Zach wasn't there with you. I hope we get to see more moments with you, Zach and Ian, along with Spike taking care of his little brother. Can't wait for Ian to come home!

I'm glad we got to see Josh today and being such a great brother and Uncle. I hope we get to see more of Josh! Also, Zach needs a friend he can confide in and maybe Josh can be that person for him.

Kendall,

So sorry to learn about the preemie, Gina. I think about how many times you and Zach came to losing Ian which is why feeding him from a bottle for the first time really is a big deal. Such a cutie and good appetite as well.

Kendall,

Ian may be small and a little fragile right now but you (and he) handled it like a pro. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You are a wonderful mom.

[Brainerd]

Kendall,

Miracles do happen every day and Ian is just another example. Such a lovely moment with mother and son and seeing the light in your eyes. Josh is right...it won't be long before Ian will be home.

[Onamia]

Kendall,

Proud mom aside, seeing you smiling and feeding Ian made my day. Oh, and Josh isn't bad on the eyes either.

You and Zach have a lot to be proud of.

Kendall,
I was so happy to see you feeding Ian today! You got a well-deserved special moment with your beautiful son. I am sure that Ian will grow to be a wonderful boy, another miracle son like his brother. I wish you the best of luck with Spike and Ian. After what you've been through, I know you and Zach can make it through anything. All my love and best wishes, Maria. <3 XOXO
